A hand-size cluster of small bright yellow Oregon grape flowers set against dark, spiny leaves.
A pencil-thin green step is the center of the frame. Hanging from it are two delicate flowers with cream-colored petals curling away from long yellow stamen.
Sorrel leaves, which look a lot like giant clover, traipse across a bed of brown oak leaves. Perky five-petaled flowers peep out from behind the green sorrel leaves.
A star-shaped bright pink salmonberry blossom stands out against the backdrop of light green, raspberry-like leaves and vines.
Another Thursday, another timeline cleanse. Oregon grape, fawn lily, wood sorrel, and salmonberry are all blooming in our courtyard right now! #NativePlants #NaturePhotography

I'm looking for a link to an article written by @rbreich.bsky.social back in the 90s (?) in the New York Times Magazine. I keep paraphrasing his statement about a systemic reason for government waste. Anyone??

If you're mentally drained from the news but still want to be an informed person, it helps to look sideways and see what workers in our federal government actually do. I highly recommend the Netflix show The G Word with @adamconover.net.

The water unexpectedly released from dams on Trumpβs order didn't help farms or L.A.
The Trump administration abruptly sent water flowing from two California dams. The action could leave less water in dams for the summer, when farmers typically use it.

Watch The G Word with Adam Conover | Netflix Official Site
Love it or hate it, the government plays a huge role in our lives. Adam Conover explores its triumphs, failures and how we might be able to change it.
As Trump prepares to take a sledgehammer to the "administrative state," it's worth revisiting this @adamconover.net celebration of the non-partisan government workers who make life better and safer for us in so many ways that most of us take for granted.

Lovely as it is-- it is a huge invasive problem here in the US.

This is a horrible invasive in American lawns and wetlands. A fairly recent arrival.
